Waiting for Farajallah

Waiting for Farajallah (2019) blends Documentary elements. Top cast includes Mahmud Abu-Jazi, Ibrahem Naamneh, and Edad Seh. The plot follows a central conflict that grows in scope as the film progresses.

Actor: Mahmud Abu-Jazi

We are taken behind the scenes of a play in-the-making: The play is Samuel Beckett’s WAITING FOR GODOT—starring a group of young 48-Palestinians. One by one, we are introduced to a variety of characters: the play’s director, actors, and other ordinary people. As we delve further into each of their lives, the film reveals the startling parallels between the themes of the play and their own. Everyone is waiting for something: a permit to build a house, better work conditions, a starring role in a film. Much like Waiting for Godot, our heroes are awaiting Faraj Allah… something that may or may not come.
